The price of the product is only topped by spare parts of the LAVAC vacuum WCs. The durability and longevity remain. All in all a good alternative if you do not have self-supporting winches.

Tried to install them on a Barlow 25. Althogh the diamater of the drum is 75 mm, which goes with the medium size that I got, I could not install them as the top part of the winch is way too wide. I \ 'll probably try to refund or just lose the money.

Tough to fit but the end result is good. With an excessive expense you get a good self-teiling compromise.

Disappointment
Simple assembly. It is not convenient for the operator. If you sail alone it is almost useless. Inefficient at frequent turns. The 8mm rope does not fix well. You need both hands to operate.

Wincher Barton
Fairly simple to install if you follow the advice in the video. As for the effectiveness as a self tailing not satisfied. The sheet loaded in the throat of the Wincher remains inside without coming out, therefore it rolls up on itself. Test carried out with a 10 mm diameter sheet.

Mi chiamo Dave e vengo da Barton Marine.

Siamo spiacenti che il Wincher ti abbia deluso, ma potrebbe essere il modo in cui hai utilizzato il prodotto. Il Wincher funziona diversamente da un verricello self-tailing, devi caricare completamente il tamburo in modo che la linea venga spinta contro la testa del Wincher. La fessura nella parte superiore serve solo per bloccare la linea quando viene sollevata con il verricello.

Contatta me- [email protected] e ti invierò un video del prodotto utilizzato.

My name's Dave and I'm from Barton Marine.

We're sorry the Wincher has disappointed you, but it may be the way you have used the product. The Wincher works differently to a self-tailing winch, you have to load the drum completely so the line is pushed up against the Wincher head. The slot in the top is only for locking the line off when winched.

Please contact me- [email protected] and I will send you a video of the product being used.

do not follow tutorial video
1 out of 2
For the 1st I followed the recommended video the strap cut the rubber piece.
For the 2nd I used a flat (and round) screwdriver everything went well.
So it works fine after that, but the strap thing sucks.
With 1 out of 2 I don't really know what to say....

Poor.
I took size M for my Lewmar 40s (as shown in the table). I used the method shown hot water and strap to place it. Both are broken ... Net. 65 € in the trash. Pity.

I don't know what to say
Given the breakage at the time of assembly, I believe that the gum paste with which it is made is too raw and not very elastic.

Defects in the cast. Workmanship.

zero result.
Despite a rope in the indicated diameter range and a winch from the major brand Barlow Australia, now Harken, the 8mm rope does not pass over the self tail collar and if you force it, it falls back down onto the winch drum. Expensive accessory, impossible to buy individually, and useless

Does not work on Barton winches
The winch handle does not lock properly due to the thickness of the product.

Wincher
Unfortunately, one of the winch attachments broke during assembly, although it was installed according to the instructions. Winch diameter was 70mm and the small size goes up to 70mm. Maybe it would be better to choose the medium size after all. But the price for what you get in terms of material is more than overpriced.

SCRAP
the dimensions did not match at all, the two specimens had different diameters, presumably different nominal sizes, unusable

Catastrophic
This product may be valid, provided you can install it! Despite the notice and the examples seen on the net, one of the two is "passed" very difficult, the collar impossible to set up. The other has simply torn apart under the sole human force (no tool). Both will end up in the trash (model 80 90 mn for Lewmar 44). Do not go into this purchase, without a friend having a successful experience in this field!

No, completely dissatisfied, the product does not meet expectations in any way and your catalog description is misleading
Who is describing this application from a standard Winch a selftailing winch, has obviously never worked with winches! Your catalog description !! The only thing you can do with these senseless upheavals is to fix the sheet, that's all (also their description) What now? A Selftailing winsch probably has as a main feature that the sheet automatically when retrieving from the drum in the head runs and one does not pull the sheet with a hand on the drum. This senseless rubber pack has nothing to do with it at all! I now bought the crap with you and reared with Muehe expect now a credit note!
Our answer
Der Artikel "Wincher" des Herstellers Barton ist ein sehr nützliches Zubehörteil für alle Standardwinschen. Die dargestellte Funktionsweise "Self-Tailing" (Anleitung Online - Seite 4) ist unter Umständen nicht bei allen Einbausituationen der Winschen möglich. Im Idealfall ist die Winde, wie auf der Abb. seitlich geneigt montiert.
